Seb's take
The regular Shiva Shanti carries Garlic Bud and Skunk #1 through to a classic Kush aroma, honeyed and spiced with that same telltale garlic note. The effect is deeply relaxing, calm and happy, built for unwinding at the end of a genuinely long day.
Where it comes from
Sensi Seeds built Shiva Shanti from Garlic Bud, an unnamed Kush and Skunk #1 — an 85 percent indica whose character owes a good deal to that first, rather unusual parent. The Garlic Bud is no idle inclusion; it shows up plainly in both the aroma and the flavour. A classic Sensi indica cross, then, with a savoury streak most of its stablemates lack, and a clear Kush backbone holding the whole thing steady.
Nose & flavour
An incredibly intense acid character, with notes of honey, mixed spices and — true to the Garlic Bud parent — garlic itself. It is a classic Kush aroma at heart, but a distinctive one, the savoury garlic and sweet honey pulling in unexpectedly different directions. A bold, unusual nose, the sort you do not soon forget, and one that rather rewards a grower with a taste for the eccentric. Earthy and herbal underneath it all.
The high
A deeply intense feeling of relaxation, perfect for unwinding after a genuinely long day — the sitting-down sort, calm and happy, that settles the body thoroughly. There is no racing edge to it; it simply draws you down into a comfortable stillness and keeps you there. A heavy, agreeable indica effect, in short, the kind reserved for evenings with nothing left on the schedule. Relaxed throughout, and generous with the calm it delivers.
Growing it
A fast, generous grower — flowering wraps in a brisk 50 to 55 days, and yields run heavy at 500 to 700 g/m². Height is not recorded, so read her by temperament: a sturdy 85 percent indica with the compact, productive frame the type tends toward. THC sits at 15 to 20 percent. As a regular line she offers breeding stock alongside the flower, and that savoury Garlic Bud character makes her an interesting one to work from. A quick, heavy, distinctive indica, and an easy one to bring home.
